fur die sic Gut und Blut opferten,

Hereupon the teachers and pupils of
the public scools sang 1.Memorial
Song words by 5. n. Mitchell, music
by h. Nix. The band next played a
selection, Image of the Rose" and
then Col. Pfender addressed his com.
rades of the war. In the course of his
remarks he read the eloquently worded
General Orders No. II, 1868, issued by
the illustrious Gen. John A. Logan as
Commander.in-Chie of the G. A. r.
nineteen years age. Col. Pfaender al
so referred to the death of Gen. Logan
in an appropriate manner. The sol
diers' monument and the graves of
comrades in arms were then decorated
with flowers and garlands, artillery sa-
lutes were fired, followed by the firing
of a salute by Company A, and then
the exercises of the day concluded with
the singing of Hail Columbia by the
mixed choir and the playing of ,,Star
Spangled Banner by the band.
We are in receipt of communica-
ton from Mr.. C. G.. Brandt of San Die
go, Cal, in which he denies some of
the statements made by a correspon-
dent of the Faribault REPUBLICAN and
reprinted in the Review of May 18th.
He says that the statements may be
true if applied to 'sthe Mohjave desert
and most of the alkali and valleys in
the eastern part of San Bernardino and
San Diego counties, but that the coast

ego is in almost every respect the most
desirable part of the state to live in.
He proves by the record of the Signal
Service that during the last ten years
there were only 20 days in which the
thermometer Indicated more than 80
degrees F. and only SO days in which it
indicated less than 40 degrees F. on the
coast from San Diego to Santa Barbara.
We are unable to print ali of the letter,
as we are crowded for space this week.
While cellar was being dug on Mr..
Fritz Walther's farm in :he town of
Cottonwood, an old silver coin was
found imbedded in the ground, 6 feet
below the surface. The diameter of
the coin slightly exceeds that of a dime,
but its thickness is so small that it
weighs no more than 9 grains. less than
one-fourth the weight of dime. The
one side of the coin bears the date 1858,
together with the old duchal crown Of
Wurtemberg, including the character
istic triple antler. On the other side Is
the head of the Suabian prince during
whose reign it was issued, accompa.
MED by. thet following inscription: Ca
rozus D.: G.: Dan Wurt. This coin
seems to furnish conclusive evidence
that the vicinity of New Ulm was visit
ed by Suabians long before the founders
of the city named it after the old Suabi
an stronghold Ulm.
